Answer by Dr. Ru: About EL 4049 usage in lactation
Significantly less EL 4049 penetrated from Ovide after 0.5 h versus the suggested 8 h application, without decreasing the product’s efficacy. Avoid applying it on the breast or nipple. Otherwise, cleanse it thoroughly before nursing.
Answer by DrLact: About EL 4049 usage in lactation
EL 4049 appears to be poorly absorbed after topical application, so it is not likely to reach the breastmilk in large amounts. However, breastmilk excretion of EL 4049 has not been studied after application of the 0.5% lotion. Until more data become available, an alternate agent is preferred.[1]
